Would it not be great to have your roof looking like new again?
Why should I have it cleaned?
A large accumulation of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other organic growth could well cause big problems with the roof and the life expectancy of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you neglect your roof, you’ll find these plants will quickly spread out of control with their roots creeping their way into weaknesses in the roof tiles, steadily widening them throughout time until cracks become visible. Like all living organisms they need water to live, and when it rains, they’ll work like a sponge securing as much water as they possibly can. As it works its way in the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof finding itself in your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia boards. Really then, arranging to have a roof cleaned is an important service for many reasons.
For a lot of people though cleaning their roof is entirely an aesthetic decision and we can’t fault you for that! Roofs can become very dull because of organic growths like lichen and moss, and at that point a roof cleaning service is necessary.

Comparing a clean roof and one that needs a clean can be night and day.
